Chapter 63 Heart Disease

"Shopkeeper Yan, is it really this, Mrs. Wang, who was cured by this little lady?" Shen Wanguan is not tall and has a belly as big as a bucket. If he hadn't seen Chen Xiuyan combing her hair, he would have thought she was a young lady from someone else's family.

"Master Shen, how could I lie to you?" Storekeeper Yan shook his head with a smile, "Master Shen's son-in-law is the head of our county government, so he can't find out anything."

Shopkeeper Yan said this, and Shen Wanguan believed it at once, "Shen really didn't expect Dr. Chen to be so young. There is a saying that a young man is better than a young man. Dr. Chen, please come in. Shopkeeper Yan, please come in." .”

Shen Wanguan enthusiastically led Chen Xiuyan and shopkeeper Yan in and went directly to the front yard.

Chen Xiuyan took a moment to look at it. Shen's residence was really quite big. She could estimate it just by looking at the distance between the hanging flower door and the front yard. However, the huge Wang's residence was really deserted and she didn't meet anyone along the way.

The ancient system was strict and merchants were not allowed to use slaves. No matter how rich Shen Wanguan was, he was not qualified to buy or sell servants. No wonder so many people wanted to take the imperial examination route.

Among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, scholars are the first.

"My son is sixteen this year, and we just got married six months ago. I have been preparing for the wedding recently, but I didn't expect that the child had a strange rash. The doctor saw him several times, but none of them could cure it." Shen Waguan said with emotion, " My son-in-law was anxious when he heard about his brother-in-law, so he helped inquire about it, and then he approached Dr. Chen."

"Although I cured Mrs. Wang, I can't cure any disease. I still need to meet the patient and see the situation before I can make a decision." Chen Xiuyan said calmly.

"Of course." Shen Wanguan repeatedly agreed, "I have heard from shopkeeper Yan and my son-in-law about Dr. Chen's rules. No matter whether it can be cured or not, Dr. Chen's condition will not be disclosed to anyone. You must first obtain Dr. Chen's approval. Only then can I introduce it to others.”

Chen Xiuyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Shopkeeper Yan. She was reliable in her work. Shopkeeper Yan raised her chest slightly and accepted Chen Xiuyan's admiring eyes.

Shen Waguan's youngest son, Shen Qianshu, lived in the Shuxiangzhai in the front yard, which was used as a study room and a bedroom. Of course, there was also a courtyard in the back yard for him to move in after he got married.

When she pushed the door open and entered, she was greeted by the smell of medicine, and the doors and windows were closed. It was a bit hot in the room, and Chen Xiuyan was already a little indifferent. It was the same. The ancients seemed to agree that if you were sick, you should not let the wind into the room.

Shen Wanguan asked Chen Xiuyan and shopkeeper Yan to sit down at the round table in the study, and went to the back to call his youngest son out. He was worried that Chen Xiuyan was a woman and a talented lady, and Shen Wanguan did not lose the dignity he deserved.

Shen Wanguan's wife also specially brought tea for Chen Xiuyan and shopkeeper Yan to enjoy.

Shen Qianshu came out with an irritated face. After seeing Chen Xiuyan's face clearly, his anger was gone. On the contrary, there was a hint of frivolity in his eyes.

Shen Wanguan didn't know his son's temperament, so he pinched him secretly as a warning and said loudly, "Sir, this is my unsatisfactory son. Please check on him."

As soon as the words "Scholar Lady" came out, Shen Qianshu seemed to have been pricked by a needle and lost his vitality. His whole body was limp and he sat down feebly, and stretched out his left hand in cooperation.

Shopkeeper Yan took the initiative to take out a handkerchief and put it on Shen Qianshu's wrist, "There are differences between men and women, and Dr. Chen is a married woman. Please don't be offended, Mr. Shen."

"Don't be surprised, don't be surprised."

Chen Xiuyan did not check her pulse immediately, but looked at the red rash on Shen Qianshu's hands and asked, "Is this rash itchy?"

Shen Wanguan smiled and replied, "It's not itchy. The doctor before was surprised. But fortunately it's not itchy, otherwise I would have died of discomfort."

"Which parts of the body are there still?" Chen Xiuyan asked.

"Dr. Chen, I have it in many places on my body, even in private areas. Do you want to take a look?" Shen Qianshu looks very similar to Shen Waguan. He is also a short and fat man with a greasy face and a wretched look.

"If Mr. Shen doesn't want to live, just say so." Chen Xiuyan looked back with a smile. The coldness in her eyes made Shen Qianshu shiver, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"Dr. Chen, what do you mean? What's wrong with my child? Why can't he survive?" Shen Wanguan's wife suddenly became anxious.

"He went to an unclean place and touched an unclean person." Chen Xiuyan stretched out her hand to feel her pulse. She could already tell at a glance that the man had syphilis, which was the so-called syphilis in ancient times. Tsk, tsk, this is contagious.

"An unclean place?" Shen Wanguan was a little surprised, "Dr. Chen, do you mean that my child has met a ghost?"

Well, Chen Xiuyan twitched her lips, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that your youngest son must have been to a brothel or a place like a brothel, and came into contact with a woman infected with the disease, and was infected."

"Fortunately, it's not the third stage yet. I'll get a few injections, some medicine, and a few courses of treatment, but it's not cheap." Chen Xiuyan didn't like Shen Qianshu's attitude at the beginning, not to mention that penicillin is so expensive. There is a quota for anti-inflammatory drugs, but she still charges extra for using them on such people.

Chen Xiuyan didn't take it seriously at all, but the expressions of the people around her changed drastically. Shen Wanguan and his wife turned pale. Shopkeeper Yan stood up and moved away from Shen Qianshu, waiting for the reaction to come to his mind. After pulling Chen Xiuyan's hand, the handkerchief was discarded directly by him.

"Dr. Chen, does he really have Hualiu disease? It's a disease that can kill people." Shopkeeper Yan exclaimed.

"How is it possible? How is it possible?" Shen Qianshu was the one who was most afraid. His face turned pale with fright, he shook his head and said it was impossible, "Ms. Wen is the courtesan of Hongyue Tower, how could she have Hualiu disease?"

Shen Wanguan didn't understand anything when he heard that his youngest son must have gone to Hongyue Tower to hang out with Lady Wen. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Are you stupid? Mother Wen is no longer an oiran, otherwise she would want you." You want me to be a benefactor? Why don't you use your brain?"

"She has passed away, but Hongyue Tower is seeking wealth and murder. Even if we want to drain the value of those women, we cannot allow sick people to receive guests."

"I, I'll go find them." Shen Wanguan's wife was angry and crying, rushing to go out.

"Stop, let's make Qianshu's illness a big deal, can his marriage be saved?" Shen Waguan yelled angrily.

The three people in the house were in a panic.

"Do you want treatment or not?" Chen Xiuyan asked with a frown.

Shen Wanguan seemed to have come to life again, "Doctor Chen, can you cure this disease?"

"You can give it a try." Chen Xiuyan replied, "One injection is only fifty taels of medicine. Your younger son needs three injections, once every seven days, and then he has to take some medicine to cure the disease completely. If he wants to be cured, it will cost only two hundred taels." It won’t come twice.”

"Doctor Chen, money is not a problem." Shen Wanguan's family is rich, and the most important thing for merchants is money. "As long as my son can be cured, Doctor Chen will be my honored guest from now on."

"It's not necessary." Chen Xiuyan has no intention of interacting with such a family. The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. With Shen Qianshu's virtue, how much better can Shen Wanguan be.
